2.2 Survey Workscope
In accordance with the instructions received, we attended on board the NAME OF RIG to
complete a condition assessment of the primary assets of the rig including drilling
equipment, mud system, well control equipment, marine equipment, hull, structure, power
plant, electrical equipment and safety equipment.
Additionally for these rigs utilizing the Transocean RMS system, this assessment was to
determine the present state of maintenance by reviewing tasks, histories and Operation
Event Reports (OER) on the assets inspected with particular emphasis on downtime risk
equipment.
The ultimate goal of the assessment was to determine the current condition of the rig's
assets. The audit was conducted in good faith, but the inspection of individual items of
equipment was subjected to time and operational constraints imposed by the time of the
assessment.

3.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
3.2 Conclusion
In accordance with the instructions received, we attended on board the TransOcean Horizon
to complete a rig condition assessment of the primary drilling equipment, mud system, well
control equipment, marine equipment, hull, structure, power plant, electrical equipment and
safety equipment.
The rig was clean and the paint was in good condition.
The deck cranes were in bad condition . The main block on both cranes were worn and in
need of replacement. The whip line sheaves were worn and must be replaced. The gantry
crane was in fair condition. The walkway on the booms for both deck cranes, was only about
10 inches wide. The walk way at the boom tip had no platform around the sheaves and
causing a safety issue when performing the PM maintenance on the crane. The winch
located in the boom had no walkway or platform around the unit for maintenance. It was
recommended for a walkway to be installed in-side the boom for walking the boom when
performing maintenance on the winch located in the boom and for safe access to the boom
tip sheaves.
The salt water and fresh water piping was in bad condition due to age. The piping for the
cooling systems and the water makers were in bad condition. The piping was leaking around
the water makers and the cooling heat exchangers. The salt water service pumps in the
lower pump rooms were in bad condition. The pumps were leaking and in need of
replacements.
Number 2 thruster motor was out of service and must be replaced. All of the thruster were
having problems with water getting into the gear box due to the seals were in need of
replacement.
The ballast system was in fair condition. This was due to the hydraulic system for the ballast
valves were causing problems. The units were not closing the valves correctly due to the
solenoids on the 4 units in the columns were heating up to the point of burning out or
shutting off when using the system. Number 3 ballast pump was in bad condition, due to .
not staying primed and not pumping correctly when in use. The pump must be replaced if
repai rs cannot be make for the pump to work correctly.
The walkways on the lower sides of the columns were i n bad condition and must be
replaced.
The water makers were in fair condition; however, the units were not making the amount of
potable water needed to supply the rig . The units were making half of the amount of water
being used daily.
The water maker rooms located in front of each of the main engines did not have a
automatic bilge system. The crew members were pumping out the bilge in the areas with
diaphragm type pumps manually. With the fresh water and salt water piping in bad
condition, the rig was having issues with the pipes leaking often. This could cause a flooding

4.0 ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
4.1 Hull and Structure
Marine Integrity
The client would like a brief summary of the condition of hull/pontoon/structure
RST STRU Handrails/Walkways
Upon assessment of the handrails and walkways around the rig, they were in good
condition. The rig crew members have kept them repaired and painted. The walkways going
down the forward and aft columns of the rig were in bad condition due to being in the water
most of the time when on location. One walkway in the moon pool, located near the BOP
Crane was in need of repair to the under-side. The platform was corroded and in need of
protective coating. Two of the under-side braces were corroded and in need of being
replaced.
The walkways and handrails were in good condition.
Recommendations:
Replace the ladders and walkways on the lower part of all 4 columns of the rig as
needed.
Repair the platform walkway in the moon pool as needed and apply protective
coating/paint.
RST PIPE Vent Lines and Checks
Upon inspection of the vents and checks, they were in good condition, however it was noted
one vent for the sludge oil tank did not have a containment area around the vent. Oil was
accumulating around the top part of the vent, and therefore starting to drip off of the vent .
The vent was located on the Port Forward side of the rig and on the outside of the handrail.
The fuel vents all were installed with containment areas around them, and all were in good
condition. In review of the history on the vents and checks, it was noted the PMs were
preformed on regular bases.
The vents and checks were in good condition.
Recommendations:
Install a containment area around the sludge tank vent (located on the Port Forward
side of the rig) as needed.

In review of the history, the PMs were showing to be completed on regular bases and up to
date.
The manual watertight hatches were in fair condition. The main hatch for the welding area,
needs the gasket replaced due to age and the gasket was hard, this would not let the
gasket seal correct when closed. The hand winch for raising the hatch cover was in bad
condition. The safety cover that goes over the teeth of the winch was missing and the teeth
on the gears were worn severely. The teeth on the winch for sack room hatch cover were
worn to the point of needing to be replaced as well.
The watertight hatch covers for the vents on the Port and STBD side of the rig, located
behind the cranes, was in bad condition. The gaskets were dry and cracked due to age. The
hatch covers were corroded and would not let the hatch cover seal when closed.
The manual watertight doors and hatches were in fair condition.

Number 2 thruster was out of service due to motor was bad and in need of replacement.
All of the thrusters were getting water into the oil of the gear units, due to the seals were
leaking. This has been going on for some time now and will continue to get worse in time.
Number 8 thruster was leaking hydraulic oil around the inside shaft. The unit had the oil
seal rubber out of place and was raised up on the shaft. The hoses for all of the thrusters
were showing signs of age and beginning to get dry cracked and hard. In review of the
history, it was noted the oil samples were showing water in the gear oil. Number 3 thruster
was showing to have more water in the sample then the others. The PMs were up to date on
the units, however, number 2 was out of service and the PMs were delayed due to this
nature. On interviews with crew members, it was noted, the thruster has been performing
well and the rig had no major issues other then number 2 thruster motor going out .
The units were showing signs of wear and in need to being overhauled in the near future.
The cooling heat exchanger units were in bad condition due to age and have to be cleaned
more often then normal. The water pipes of the cooling units were leaking at the flange

4.12 Cooling Water/Fuel/Lube Oil/Oily Water
SEA PIPE Salt Water Lines/Related Equipment
The salt water piping was in bad condition. The lines going to the water makers were
leaking in several places and on all six water makers. The flanges were leaking around the
spools at all six water makers. The main line going to the water makers was severely
corroded. Number 1 water maker cooler unit was leaking around the weld of the flange
where it connects to the unit. The main salt water line going to number three engine had
been shut down for repairs to the piping. The main spool in the pipe had been pulled out
and the pipe was blanked off. The spool was severely corroded and leaking around the
flange connections of the spool. The main valves would not close completely, this was due
to age and the valve seals, and gates were not sealing off when closed. Therefore the water
for the port side of the rig had to be shut off completely in order to install a new spool. In
review of the history, it was noted, the rig has been having problems with the salt water
lines for some time. This was due to the piping being in bad condition due to age and
wearing thin. The rig crew had installed temporary soft patches on some of the piping until
the pipes can be replaced.

The ventilation fans and duct work was in fair condition. This was due to the (VMSA) supply
fans for the machinery area on the port and STBD side of the rig. Both units were located
next to the cranes. They were corroded severely and the gaskets were in bad condition. The
supply duct for the fans on the port side of the rig had gaskets pieced together in the
corners of the hatch covers, leaving gaps in the gasket. This will not let the hatch cover seal
when the hatch is closed. The lip on the duct vent was corroded on the lip as well
preventing the hatch from sealing when closed. The hatch covers were corroded around the
lip where the gasket fits on the cover, therefore the hatch covers must be replaced or
repaired. The louvers were corroded and must be replaced. The ventilation fans and duct for
the rest of the rig was in good condition. For example, the pit room, shaker room, shack
room and other areas all were in good condition. Upon review of the history on the
